Xo hummed to herself as she fiddled with her necklace. She had done everything she needed to do and was just waiting on the cutting of her newest stones. She grinned slightly, flicking her tail back and forth as she admired her reflection in the stream she was standing by. Yes, she was a fine lioness that any male should be drooling after. She smirked a bit, remembering the encounter that had led to her finding her stones. That cheeton had been very nice and she hoped he found his father in the end, but she was very glad that he had found her. For such a meek personality, he certainly had been an animal when it came down to it.
The call of her name made her start. Were they done already?! Hope burst through her chest as she roared in return, letting the Jedi know that she was coming to receive her official stones. Now she could be looked upon as a full member of the pride, as someone who would protect those that set paw within their lands, and that would put her life on the line to keep the Sith at bay. Anything for the Jedi! She closed her eyes as she ran, just for a moment, to focus on the Force. It was certainly strong with her this day!
Pride burst through her as her roar was responded to. Yes, they had finished her stones! These were her last few minutes as a child in the pride. All her hard work was going to pay off in just a few minutes with the ceremony and the presentation of her new necklace. With a grin, Xo put a little extra burst of speed into her run, kicking up dust as she went.
